Understanding the Impact of the Lowermost Stratospheric Thermodynamic Environment and Thunderstorm Updraft Characteristics on Overshooting Tops
UNDERSTANDING AND MODELING OF MESOSCALE AND SEVERE LOCAL CONVECTIVE STORM PROCESSES II ORAL
atmospheric sciences | 13 december 2024
Melinda T. Berman, Robert J. Trapp, Stephen W. Nes...
Overshooting tops (OTs) are manifestations of deep convective updrafts that extend past the tropopause into the stratosphere. OTs can transport moistu...
